Podcast: Transport Oakland

I can’t believe this episode is finally out for everyone to hear!
More than a year ago, I was approached by a colleague who told me that
something big was happening in Oakland, and that I should monitor the
process as the city put together a new Transportation Department.

Today I’m pleased to post the first (and hopefully not the last)
episode in a series on the Oakland Transportation Department — how it
came to be and what comes next. This installments follows a new advocacy
group, Transport Oakland, as a parklet project they supported becomes political.

Future episodes will concentrate more specifically on the politics
and mechanics of the department, but I thought this would be a good
starting point. I hope you enjoy the launch of the series, and hopefully
it won’t take another year to get to episode two!

I'm transitioning my writing over to my other site which was previously called The Direct Transfer. People seemed to be confused by the differences in brand between The Overhead Wire and The Direct Transfer so I made a change and combined the two as The Overhead Wire.

This page will continue to be here and will still be updated sparingly as it has over the last few years, however new original analysis and writing will be featured at TheOverheadWire.com in addition to the news archive and The Overhead Wire Daily email.
